So I just discovered this song via my "Postal Service" radio station on Pandora.com, and the simple electronica + lyrics = amazing.

True Affectionby The Blow

I was out of your league And you were 20,000 underneath the sea Waiving affections You were out of my league At a distance that I didn't wanna see Down to the bottom

I wanted a junction and often there was one You'd surface face first and we'd share our thought bubbles And I still believe in the phrases that we breathed But I know the distance isn't fair to cross

I was out of your league And you were 20,000 underneath the sea Waiving affections You were out of my league At a distance that I didn't wanna see Wanted you nearer

Your depths made a pressure that punctured my worksAnd all your fluids couldn't tolerate the force of my thirst I love the place where we shared our tiny grace But because it's real doesn't mean it's gonna work

I was out of your league And you were 20,000 underneath the sea Waiving affections You were out of my league At a distance that I didn't wanna see Wanted you nearer

And true affection floats True affections sinks like a stone I never felt so close I never felt so all alone

I was out of your league And you were 20,000 underneath the sea Waiving affections You were out of my league At a distance that I didn't wanna see Wanted you nearer
